conclusion you mark my words it won't be
long until the Old Duke will commence to
howling and you know what that means any
howling around here will be done when
Jethro comes down finds out his
breakfast ain't ready how can he think
about food at a time like this when
there's a death in the family kilogram
don't have to mean that now I'm going to
open it I ain't gonna listen
it's from Luellen Aiden in Monroe
Louisiana
oh that's that little girl that Jethro
used to tow their books back home I
thought you wasn't gonna listen
can I help but if I
got she is coming to California in fact
she's flying in this morning what fur
well she says she's finally going to
take the big step and she can't wait to
see Jethro I wonder what she means by
the big step your dog find him
come on everybody where's the middle
I'll come in to fix some breakfast right
away thank you Granny
jethroat
you recollect little girl back home Nama
Lou Evan Hayden
Lou Ellen eight yeah she moved down to
Louisiana by the time we come out here
to California
Louella hey you just told her books to
school
oh yeah I used to call her cupcake
cupcake
sweetest thing I ever put my lips to who
Ellen was huh no the cupcake she used to
tote to school in her lunch box
[Music]
because I was done eating my lunch she'd
give me what was left of hers she liked
you huh yeah I was crazy about her too
first time I ever really fell in love
with Luellen no with her cupcakes
it was molasses cupcakes with
marshmallow icing well how do you feel
about Llewellyn I liked her fine why
well in her telegram here
she says she is coming to California
this morning
she can't wait to see you
and she is finally going to take the big
step
I wonder what she means by that that's
what your granny and me is trying to
figure out
you're proposed to her you mean marriage
yeah do you ever ask her to marry you
oh gosh I remember I give her a ring
engagement ring
well I don't know we was walking home
from school and I seen this here
horseshoe nail lying on the road so I
picked it up with my toes showing off
well anyways I bent it into a ring and I
slipped it on her finger
was it by any chance a third finger of
her left hand
yeah it was and then I kissed her
it did
yeah there was still some icing left on
her lips
and get through
think hard try to recollect everything
you said to her on the day you put the
ring on her finger
okay well let me think
did you ask her to wait for you yep yep
that's exactly what I said I said Lou
Ellen you wait for me you act like
anything else you said
well when we got to her house I said
sweetheart I says someday you and me is
going to share everything together yeah
true it looks to me like you was facing
a wedding I am
yeah we'll figure it out for yourself
you put a ring on her engagement's
finger you kissed her you asked her to
wait for you and you said someday you
and her was going to share everything
yeah well when I said share everything I
meant everything in her lunch box not
just the cupcakes
maybe that's what you meant but I don't
think that's the way she took it boy you
were just a handful of rice away from
being a married man
legit I can't marry no little hillbilly
girl like Lou Allen Maiden why not
because I'm a sophisticated Playboy a
member of the international Jetson why
if I was to walk into that Palace in
Monaco with that little oh hey seed why
Princess Grace and Prince reindeer and
throw me out
well don't go to see Princess Grace and
Prince reindeer who said ask me to give
a poem ask me to give up skiing in the
Alps but don't ask me to give up my
friends
you won't figure out what Llewellyn
meant by that telegram yeah granny
appears like she's coming out here to
marry Jethro she's got to find me first
